Elaeagnus x Ebbingei Maryline 9 Litre Pot

laeagnus × ebbingei ‘Maryline’ – Bright Variegated Evergreen for Colour and Screening

Elaeagnus × ebbingei ‘Maryline’ is a vibrant evergreen shrub, prized for its bold variegated foliage and strong garden performance. The glossy leaves are richly green with bright golden-yellow centres and margins, creating a luminous effect that adds colour and contrast throughout the year.

Its naturally dense, upright habit makes it ideal for hedging, screening, or use as a feature shrub in mixed borders. The bright foliage stands out particularly well against darker evergreens and helps bring light to planting schemes during winter months.

In autumn, small creamy-white flowers appear within the foliage, releasing a sweet fragrance that adds another layer of seasonal interest. Its dense growth also provides useful shelter and privacy once established.

Highly tolerant of wind, coastal exposure, and a wide range of soil conditions, ‘Maryline’ is both decorative and practical. It responds well to clipping and can be maintained as a neat hedge or allowed to grow more naturally.

Thriving in sun or partial shade, it prefers well-drained soil and requires minimal maintenance beyond occasional trimming to maintain shape and encourage fresh colourful growth.

Bright, tough, and versatile, Elaeagnus ‘Maryline’ is an excellent choice for adding evergreen structure and vibrant foliage colour to the garden.
